The Course:
This long weekend will be spent Ski Touring & Splitboarding some of the Rockies' greatest peaks. March is an excellent time of year to explore the areas around Lake Louise, Field B.C and Highway 93 North.
In previous years we have made ascents of Mt Victoria N summit, Cathedral Peak, Mt Field, Cirque Peak, Crowfoot Mountain and Mt Hector. With long warm spring days and a deep, well-settled snowpack our guides are ready to take you out for great weekend of peak bagging and skiing !
This trip is great for intermediate to advanced backcountry skiers who love skiing and adventure.
A detailed course package will be emailed 3 days prior to course commencement.
*Please read and review our waiver prior to booking.*
*If you have an exceptional experience and would like to leave a tip for your guide, 10-15% is a customary amount. You can pay with cash or contact the AAA office directly to arrange.
